Political Quotes

On the recordJanuary 26, 1994
President Clinton hit a home run last night. That is exactly the way it is, and the President must be given credit for placing health care, welfare, and crime reform on the agenda. However, my colleagues, Congress can provide health care for all, but what really is needed is a job. Congress can throw the book at all these young offenders, but what really is needed is a job. Congress can reform welfare all they want. What is really needed is a job. And with a tax law right now that penalizes investment in achievement and a trade law policy in this country that ships jobs overseas and lays people off, that is not going to happen. Congress, it is about jobs, and Congress has made jobs a real four-letter word. I give the President credit, but this cyclical economic turnaround can turn the other way. We have systemic problems. Mr. Speaker, our country needs jobs.

Hinckley should go to jail. We should throw away the keys. An America that tolerates assassins like Hinckley is an America that will have more assassins like John Hinckley.
